lol high school

Is there a thread for all the Hilarious things that the school photographers would say to coax smiles?

Sheesh, sounds like you had cool teachers.

Generally yeah! (One of them let me work on an independent study project during 10th grade English class for half the year -- on Tolkien, unsurpisingly -- while another did similar by saying, "I think you might like this book" and assigning it to me as a similar independent study project in 11th grade. Book in question: Gravity's Rainbow.)

will m. = FIELD TRIP?

much much more cringeworthy. hint: it was a special-interest after-school club

I'm ruling out D&D/Magic: The Gathering because I think there's a girl in the background.

xp Does it have to do with that duck or whatever that's on the kid's t-shirt next to you?

xp, obv but omg jhoshea

pokemon then

once a guy asked me if I played Magic in high school and after I said no, he replied, "Yeah, even the nerdiest girls aren't nerdy enough for Magic."

laurel's look = "fuck you and your bullshit photography"

:)

Or, I have just asked her to prom, and she's not even going to dignify that foolishness with a response.

High school scarred me.

Will: quiz bowl?

^^^I WAS IN QUIZ BOWL.

i play M:TG

Me a few years earlier:

xp I assumed people who asked me out were setting me up for an elaborate public joke and I turned them all down.

QUIZ/KNOWLEDGE BOWL VETERANS UNITE! xxpost

I AM SO JEALOUS OF TEH QUIZBOWL

laurel ever so slightly bershon in the first one

b/c of this thread I emailed my parents asking for scans of hs/quiz bowl/etc pics

xposts TO THE I LOVE QUIZ BOWL BOARD

I think that makes you the most desirable woman alive, bell_labs. xxxp

oh i am just going to give it away: i was at an anime club. wow embarrassing.

some kids tried to hook me into magic the gathering, but as a kid who NEVER had money, i just got their cast off cards, i think i only ever paid $2 total for my cards, and was whupped over and over until i quit one day and never looked back.

however i definitely played D&D! for WAAAAAYYYY too long (read: until i moved to montreal abt 2 years ago). but that is NOT embarrasssing becuase it was basically a bunch of great dudes hanging out and occasionally playing games but mostly making funny jokes.

MANY XXXXXXPOSTS it was not quiz bowl, they didn't havei t in Canada, BUT we had Reach For The Top which is the same tihng, i think, and I was on that team!!!!!

what is quiz bowl?

Academic Decathlon veterans unite. (We won the San Diego championship in my junior year.)

oh man this calls for a thread

Jessie, you are the gorj in hs, those are some sweet cheekbones.

Laurel, you kinda remind me of Nona Mecklenberg (sp?) in that first pic.

i don't have any pics from highschool online, but there is one in a yearbook somewhere of me wearing a BLUR tshirt :o

i think it was the LATIN CLUB group photo

Uh. Were we the same person in high school, or what.

Was it JUNIOR CLASSICAL LEAGUE

Quiz Bowl is like "Jeopardy" except in a five-on-five match-up.

My step-father (who is a math teacher) complains that it doesn't get the press coverage that football gets.

He also believes that a out-of-the-park home run should be discounted as a foul since the ball has left the area of play.

xpost roxy we might have been!! except all you girls were cuter than me. the teenage years were awkward ones.

I did geography bowl and some scholars bowl. And BIBLE BOWL

xpost i didnt feel cuet

None of us felt cuet, I for one was an outcast who never dated or kissed or flirted and read a lot of books to use up the time until I could leave my hometown.

Bell labs, on the other hand, at least gets to be a knock-out adult, which is what everyone who matters will remember, anyway.

xpost, I was on our school's Fifteen to One team, but I don't think anyone who might know what that means is still awake.

lol the only one feeling revulsion at those five kids stomping that one kid into the ground

I think I kind of hated all six of them

Fifteen to One team?

That earth science manual is somewhat reminiscent of the Music has The Right To Children cover.

some sort of english schoolboy gangbang no doubt

xp

That kid is falling down a crevasse and they're all just laughing.

Fifteen to One is a quiz but I don't know how you play it in teams.

theyre not just laughing theyre jumping on his hed

LJ: I learnt photoshop (badly) when restoring that scan from a poster that had been torn in two

NV: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteen_to_One

there was a school's edition which was lame, and all my team mates were idiots so we did really badly. Schools (i.e. team) version was 3 teams of 5.

caek looks disgusted at the Lord of the Flies shit going down tho.
